Business Social – May 2

The Excell Agency, in partnership with the US Embassy in Kingston, recently hosted a special film screening at the embassy’s Robeson American Center.

The event, held on April 3, 2025, brought together 30 Jamaican students — including fifth formers, sixth formers, and university students — interested in business and entrepreneurship. At the special screening attendees had the opportunity to view and discuss the award-winning documentary, She Did That, produced by Renae Bluitt.

Participants included students from the University of Technology, Jamaica’s Joan Duncan School of Entrepreneurship, Ethics and Leadership; The Queen’s School; and Meadowbrook High and Vauxhall High schools. The event was powered by the generous support of Long Story Short Jamaica and Short Story Short, Jamaica’s first and only storytelling showcase and live music experience as well as National Baking Company, which is deeply invested in early childhood education and community development.

Business Social shares highlights.

Kith-Ann Excell, CEO of The Excell Agency, addresses students at the screening, inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs to take bold action and to embrace their potential.

Participants from a number of Corporate Area high schools and university were captivated by the lessons shared from the presenters during the She Did That screening held at the US Embassy recently
